1.3 The Users Domain

On systems where GNUstep is installed optionally, the Users domain can usually be found in a subdirectory of the user's home directory called 'GNUstep'. This location is configurable, and some installations may put this directly in the user's directory (and typical user's home directories would be located in a `Users' folder). As the name suggests, the main purpose of the Users domain is to hold GNUstep related files which shall not be available to other users on the system but only to the user owning them. This includes the GNUstep defaults database, which holds system settings, application preferences and customized resources, as well as temporary data related to services and file type associations for programs. It also holds user installed applications and tools (each user has the ability to install their own version of an application or tool). In addition to these special files, the User domain features the same structure as the other domains.
